Food Blog Analysis


On the 5th week of my English course at Aoyama Gakuin University, each of our classmates did an analysis on the assigned award-winning food blogs, and I'd like to share the outcome of my own.

The food blog I analyzed is called pinchofyum.
If you're interested in visiting this award-winning food blog, here is the link.

Purpose

Pinchofyum originally started in 2010 as a casual hobby of the creator, and it has now grown into a full-blown business. Which means, the purpose of this blog is primarily for making money, although she may be still running it for the sake of self-satisfaction since the creator is also sharing bits and pieces of her life on the blog.

About creator/voice

Lindsay is the name of the creator as well as the voice.
The voice is casual. She uses a rather conversational language, and capital letters for the words she wants to emphasize. 



Media used/Userfriendliness

You can easily search up for a specific food recipe by typing in the name of a dish, or simply click on the images of the dish categories and surf the blog for finding the dish you desire.
The design and layouts are amazing too.
There's however too much information on the recipe pages which makes it a little harder to find the recipe itself, so this blog may not be for someone who is trying to find a recipe for a dinner coming up in an hour.

Interactive aspects

There are links for various social medias (e.g. Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Moreover, one can even rate and comment on the recipes, and the moderators will most likely react on the comments. Thus, the blog is very interactive.

Social or political messages

As far as I see, there were no social/political messages to be found.

My impression of the blog

Overall, the blog is very sophisticated. However, I personally would not use it very often since there are too much information that I don't need for cooking a dish.

Restaurant Review - MENYA NISHI MUKU SAMURAI

Recently, a Ramen restaurant has opened near my apartment. I was eager to try it out, so I took the opportunity by doing a first-time restaurant review on this blog. The restaurant is called Men-ya Nishi Muku Samurai ( 麺屋ニシムクサムライ ), and it is located near Hatagaya station (Keio New Line). For those who are interested in visiting this restaurant, here is the exact address: 2 Chome-56-1 Hatagaya, Shibuya City, Tokyo 151-0072 I ordered a white chicken broth Ramen with additional sliced pork (Char-Siu Tori Paitan Ramen, チャーシュー鶏白湯ラーメン ) and a sliced pork bowl (Char-Siu don, チャーシュー丼 ). The price was 1600 yen in total.   First, I had a sip for the Ramen broth, and as I was expecting the broth was somewhat creamy . Like a Tonkotsu broth (pork-bone broth) but not as strong flavor as Tonkotsu broth is. Then I tried the noodles. Not too thick, relatively soft noodles they were but nothing was very special. Now it was the time to give it a little kick with the other ingredients. ...

Progress 2 - The World Food Problem

This is the second report on the reading progress of "The World Food Problem". In the last report , I explained the difference between undernutrition and malnutrition. This time, I will be explaining how researchers around the world tried to measure the extent of hunger .  There has been numerous attemps to measure the extent of hunger in the past, both nationally and internationally. However, it was very difficult to measure it precisely due to its difficulty and complexity of the conducted surveys. The First World Food Survey by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was first conducted in 1946, and there hasn't been much reliable datas before than that. Therefore, some alternatives had to be used when researchers tried to measure the extent of hunger.  The first method was to measure the weight and height of the people in the countries that were said to be suffering from hunger, and compare the numbers with the same datas from the developed countries . It was ...

2023 World Food Day in Russia

For the World Food Day assignment, I searched about Russia's activity on the internet. Unfortunately, I could not find much about Russia's activity itself due to the flooding information of Russia-Ukrain war related articles, but that is also a strongly relevant topic when it comes to world hunger. Thus, I am going to introduce you all what I found during my research. Is Russia helping world hunger? As of 2023, the answer was no as far as I researched. Russia's Ukraine invasion has largely disrupeted world's trading , along with the reduction of agricultural production in Ukraine. This could have or maybe even did damage the economy and food distribution in vulnerable countries related to this trading. At the United Nation's Security Council, Russia was pressured to revive Ukrainian grain shipments and avert the global food crisis by developing countries, western nations and even its ally China. However, Russia didn't give any effort to make things better . I...
